From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am sure this could be a great value exchange.

Come in and say "hi from lemmy"

Hey, Admin of the matrix here.

I would also want to point out that we have a telegram [Admin: void00r and bugswriter] and an irc [Admin: gtlsgamr and pystardust] all bridged.

And yes telegram is non-free garbage which you shouldnt use, but its still there as we created this room after we got fed up with tg and alot of the people are still on tg.
